Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I'm not sure God fits in your box. But it is a question that will surely be asked. If you refuse to give a direct answer, the question arises,why? Are you try to obscure what you really believe? What if they ask if you've stopped beating your wife yet? Why not simply answer the question with a yes ...

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

You are both right and wrong here. You are correct in that the government did a disparate impact analysis. That is standard. Where you are incorrect is in the assertion that disparate impacts are by definition discriminatory. That is untrue. All an employer has to do is demonstrate that the standar...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

18 For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 in which he also went and made proclamation to the spirits in prison 20 who in the past were disobedient, when God ...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Men may call me a knave or a fool, a rascal, a scoundrel, and I am content; but they shall never by my consent call me reformed. Borrowed, in part, from John Wesley. Thank you for the quote, I love it. And if I call you Reformed in the future, I'll do my best to ensure my audience knows it's done w...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

With respect JM, your demands on others that they answer yes or no and using terms such as telling people they are using “weasel words,” has made it incredibly easy for one to think you are expressing an attitude of what we’d see from a reformed person. Trying to use definitions that are effectivel...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I haven't read the whole argument back and forth in S&T, but even I can see the nuance in FotW's position in this sentence alone. It seems to clearly mean that salvation is granted to those who have faith, repent, and are baptized; but that it is only a REFUSAL to participate in the process tha...

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

Actually the line of what constitutes "discrimination on the basis of sex, nationality, religion, etc" is a question that can be decided by the courts, which seems to be the goal here - to convince a court to rule that unnecessary use of background checks is not permissible if it results ...

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

I don't think that the current EEOC cares whether or not Sheetz is compliant with what Federal law currently requires. I think their goal here is to tighten the restrictions on what is considered acceptable use of background checks. The current administration hasn't been shy about that being one of...
